Isn't that a problem? I feel it is. and it is exactly why i feel this expansion has failed us. on MMO champion there is a thing showing number of characters that have completed firelands... its under 150,000 characters.. there supposedly over 10,000,000 players....
thats only around 1% of the player population seeing game content... and that's just sad. I'd like to see numbers on LK raiding vs cata raiding because it seemed a whole lot more people did LK and I know i enjoyed it more when we could actually raid and progress through content fairly easily (yeah we had a few problem in LK on a couple bosses. Cata raids though have all been really agressive wiping on a lot of things.
i'm sure the easier loot and raiding will help some but still.. blizzard should be looking at these numbers and be ashamed of themselves for making everything so hard.

Fighting firelands with empty words
While the raiders get fat
and the poor stay poor
The rich get rich
And Blizz gets paid
to look away
As the 1% rules all of Azeroth.

The sample size was 2.7 million not the entire population. Still, the numbers are showing that only ~5% of the playerbase finished Firelands, even with the nerf.
I think Blizzard needs to accept the fact that most people aren't interesting in content that requires scheduling in advance. ICC was popular because people could get into a pug and do it whenever was convenient for them. The joint 10/25 lockout and the more difficult content have killed pugging so it's no surprise that participation in raiding is low.
The raid finder is a bandaid fix for this problem. However, the odds of grouping with 24 strangers (6 times as many as LFD) without getting any douchebags is effectively 0% so that's likely to end up just being frustrating in a different way than traditional raiding.

Lead Dev: We need some content that really lasts and takes a long time to complete so we don't have to issue as many expansions.
Dev1: Lets make it really hard and as a appeasement to casual players we will offer a LFG for raids.
Dev2: But this content isn't appropriate for PUGs, they will never finish it since it will be geared towards groups wiping at least 4 times before they get it.
Lead Dev: Screw em, I will write a blog and blame it on them for not dedicating their life to a guild.

Blizzard good at fixing things that aint broke is the biggest problem.
Not only did they shaft the casual player base with the increased difficulty they managed to alienate those in semi hard core 25 man guilds by making the lock out the same and also the loot as 10 man.
As someone has said the new raid finder will be about as much fun as banging your head on a brick wall.
Who leads the raid ?
Raid leader says anyone know tactics ? and everyone says no !
If they dumb it down to the point where no skill at all is required and 5 can be afk it might work.

I think people need to accept the fact that WoW really isnt a game anymore, its a time sink. The longer people keep playing this game the longer it will take the industry to rebound from it. Blizz saw $$$ and lost touch. Plenty of games before(some WoW copied) had suspect pve but still managed to produce a fun experience without requiring a month of non casual gameplay to be at that level. /rant off

Kind of blows a hole in the who raider mystique, as in it is such a minority that catering to it only dooms the game.
Good going Ghostcrawler, you took all the fun out of the game.
